The Château Pichon Longueville 2008 is a wine of great personality.
Tasting note:
Aroma: with fresh red-fruit and blackberry scents.
Palate: It is quick to express itself on the palate, rolling out its assertive, powerful character and rich flesh. This is the style of wine to be laid down in the cellars, true to the spirit of the estate. The finish is very long-lasting, with dense, precise tannins. A finely-balanced wine of substance with firm structure and body.
What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 94 points(01/04/2009)
Firm, but sweet tannins (which suggests ideal maturity) characterize this 2008. Displaying good minerality along with plenty of floral, creme de cassis, blackberry, coffee, and white chocolate notes, this full-bodied, dense, promising Pauillac is built to age for 20-25 years.
Pairing: Aged Cheese, Game Animals, Grilled Red Meats, Legume, Roasts, Stews.
